If you have a 71 then yours is A code. look on the key and see a little letter. if your ignition is original A will work. but see your key to be sure.

a lot of the new ones have E code. the supplier's can't guarantee you will get the 71 A code. does not matter to most unless you want a matching code for your rig.

I just want a period correct looking key to operate my locks/ign. If they gave me a code E can i use a code A? Stupid question but the code has nothing to do with the cut of the key, right?

Let me figure out what I need and I'll be in touch.

Yes the cut of the key is different for each year. Just buy a lockset that comes with keys. I have these. just click on each one and decide what you need. These are C-code keys. correct for 72 but will work for 71 and most other years from 68 to 72
